Cheverie was a throw-in in the Zbynek Michalek salary dump over the summer. The Penguins website doesn't even mention any of Cheverie's statistics from his previous season in its media release about the goalie. He spent the majority of 2011-12 in the ECHL but made appearances for the AHL Portland Pirates; Cheverie went 4-3 in those nine contests, compiling a 3.29 GAA and .893 save percentage. The Penguins needed organizational depth at the goaltending position and acquired it in Cheverie. It's unlikely he plays in the NHL in 2012-13.

2010-11

Selected with a seventh-round pick in the 2006 draft, Cheverie is a very promising netminder in the Panthers' organization. He turned in a gem of a season in 2009-10 while playing for the University of Denver. On top of a sterling record of 24-6-3, Cheverie was unrelenting in goal as he posted a 2.08 goals-against average and .932 save percentage. There is serious chatter about top Florida goalie prospect Jacob Markstrom vying for an NHL job, so he will arrive before Cheverie, a militant netminder in Florida's organizational ranks.
